If you want to disrupt the NRA from without just start up Black Panthers 2: Gun Rights Boogaloo and watch racist white people freak the gently caress out about "hey maybe we SHOULD restrict the second amendment". Of course they'll only push for solution that secure the existence of their people and a future for their children but it's a start that can be pushed into other legislative approaches.

You're being ironic, right? In the full knowledge that it was Black Panthers 1, black vets with gun touting the 2nd amendment that scared the basically static NRA into the super death lobby they are today?

Couldn't give a poo poo. Don't need a silencer and I've shot enough fully automatic weapons for one lifetime, not to mention they burn up a year's worth of ammo in a few seconds.

I'd trade all of those things if it meant that I could help divorce gun ownership from this cancerous racist and far-right culture that the NRA advances. I have a lot of liberal friends who love shooting ARs and handguns but keep it on the DL because they don't want to get lumped in with the clowns that the NRA represents.

Gun culture is pretty hosed up and weird, and I don't think that my manhood or my identity or anyone else's should be hung up on my ability to put rounds through paper or whether or not I CCW.

Uh, no? Why should I care about not having a tax stamp on silencers or not being able to buy full auto without an ffl?

To rephrase, why should I care so much that I would willingly get into bed with the neo-klansmen at the NRA? I'm not afraid of the "feral urban youth" because I'm not an ignorant bigot. Also, the poo poo they fight for isn't important to me in the first place, let alone important enough to actually support them with my knowledge of their bigotry and racism.

I'm pretty liberal and have an AK and an SKS, used to have a Mauser, and I did kind of have to keep owning them quiet, because it usually automatically turned to discussions about the NRA.

Ideally I can live in my strange lefty paradise where everyone is nice to each other and we all have guns because they're cool and fun and nobody's a dumbass who murders kids.

But in the real world guns are dangerous, and the NRA has become so closely linked with being a toxic racist neo-Confederate that I'm willing to sacrifice the cool poo poo to stop the human garbage.

It may not be interracial, but it is black and white.
There was just an article from a couple weeks ago that carried a lot of the same sentiments about guns rights that you all are talking about.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jul/11/redneck-revolt-guns-anti-racism-fascism-far-left

There is a group called Redneck Revolt that is trying to separate the gun issue from all the other poo poo that gets lumped in with it. I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of gun owners feel the same way, but with how iconic and well funded the NRA is it would be pretty drat hard to displace them.

Not sure ironic is the right word. More an appreciation of the situation we're in. If Black Panthers v2.0 started showing up on the newspapers today open carrying they would not only be some of the ballsiest mother fuckers in existence because of the police and the Trumpenstaffel, but I can guarantee that suddenly the modern argument for second amendment rights would get a whoooooole lot more "nuanced". The nuance, in this case, being "but, but, they can't have guns THAT'S DANGEROUS! Only white people can have guns!"

Here's an approximate translation for those that don't speak our beautiful language:

"Excuse me Marshall (like U.S. Speaker of the House), but I'm going to speak out of turn. I know you all are afraid of the truth, but keep my brother's name out of your traitorous mouths. You destroyed him, you murdered him, you're all scumbags."

My take is the exhaustion of the day finally made him let his guard down and say what he's been thinking for the past seven years and also explains everything PiS has been doing. All the unconstitutional changes to the judiciary have one goal. Make it possible to hold a show trial for Donald Tusk for killing Lech Kaczynski. This little toad wants revenge and he'll destroy a young democracy to achieve it.
Jarosław Kaczyński is the chair of the Law & Justice party (aka PiS). His twin brother, Lech Kaczynski, was the president and died in a plane crash in 2010. Jaroslaw and the rest of PiS fervently believe the Russians brought the plane down and Donald Tusk, the prime minister at the time, was somehow involved. They've exumed Lech's body and other victims of the crash for further investigation.
